LABOR DISSATISFACTION.
CHARGES OF CRIMINAL INCOM-
POTENCY AND CORRUPTION.
Barry, In COllusiOn With the Manu-
faetarers, Sells the Strikers
Out-A Church Split.

CHICAGO, ILL June "A morning
newspaper publishes the following:
At last nights me Getting OF District As
sembly No. "a, secret circular from
Philadelphia WIS read, officially noti-
tying the Ohicsgo Knights Ct the ex.
pulsion Of District Assembly No. 1875,
and warning them againet receiving
any travelling or transfer cards from
that assembly. The district was not
expelled, such action being unconsti-
tutional. No action was taken, and
the document was very coldly re-
ceived.
Another and an extremely interest.
ing circular Is icing received by the
secretaries OF all the local assemblies
in this city and all over the United
States. 1t emapates from District AS
semDly No. 126, and is an appeal for
assistance and revenge. After review
log the facts as above stated, from
their standpoint, 1t charges Master
Workman Powderly ard the General
Executive Board with criminal incom.
potency, and hints broadly at corrup-
ton. Six specific violations Of the con-
stitution are alleged. Barry is said to
have been In collision with the
manufacturers, and his report Ia char.
acterized as false in every respect. He
acted directly against the men with
out holding any consultation with
them, they say, and declared the strike
off upon the false pretext that the
strike was sgainst one man, who was
q member Of the order. In other
words, he deliberately sold them out,
they allege, and Was sustained In his
action by the General Executive
Board. Their circular concludes with
an appeal TO all as emblies to arise and
tiepose Powderly and "the corrupt aud
inefficient gang" with whom he has
surrounded himself.
From every indication. the appeal
will be met by hearty support from
many OF the Chicago local assemblies.
The anlagonism to Pow lerly is not
conf ed to the socialist, and in this
fight socialism is not involved in the
dispute. 1t is the inevitable struggle
between the mixed assemblies and the
trades unions. District 40 represents
the former and has formed an alliance
with Powderly; one OF the results, it 10
claimed, was 10 increase the Master
Workmau's salary to $4,000. With the

ticket over the Valley road to Helena,
which contracted to land them safely
and without further travelling ex-
penses at that place. Arrived at Lule,
it was found that the road from that
place to Glendale was under water,
and the plaintiff charges that the

knew this to be the case. She and
her child remained at Lula until the
next day, when they returned to
Memphis, the ticket costing 81 70. Ia
